Fixed exponent multiples have already been worked out elsewhere: specifically 
in the Java specification 
for the DecimalFormat Class
(see 
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html)
And they use the Microsoft specified format scientific formatting code where 
the number of #'s implies 
the exponent multiple. We reverse engineered stuff that already exists. I 
suspect it is consistent with 
how Microsoft does it's Excel formatting.

What this means is that a small chunk of Java code implementing a DecimalFormat 
object will do the 
formatting work for us. Useful if we can mix or translate Java to the C++ OO 
source format.

I would recommend superseding much of what we have discussed with this Java 
specification, or 
equivalent.
